Well Old Hank said it best
When he said,
"I'll never get out of this world alive"

I keep telling myself
"Self, you'll do just fine
As long as you keep on keeping on
And keep on gettin by"

But at some point
I'm bound to break
And I won't be as strong at the broken places
Like Hemingway once wrote.

I'll crumble and wither away
A pile of dusty bones on the street corner
Beneath a hookers stilettos

The wind will come and blow

I'll be a ramblin man then,
I'll be a highwayman then,
I'll be everywhere then man...
